Title: Does this happen every month?
Post by: Anor on July 03, 2006, 07:42:42 pm: The FAQ says that there is a new update about every month. So I was wondering if the servers are down every month for the testing, or is this a once-in-a-while deal?

Sometimes every two months, sometimes every four. I think it all has to do with the dev team and how much work they get done and how much they have to impliment and bug fix for the server to be stable. The updates can be anywhere from a day to a couple of weeks. There really isn't a pattern.

Indeed, but that's what makes it good, the wait, makes you think of what might be in the update.

Indeed. The wait makes it even more appreciated I think when the update is finally done. From what I have heard and read, there are monster surprises. I am really looking forward to the release.

Post by: Denerynn on July 03, 2006, 11:29:39 pm: I've played this game for about 5 days, then the update came along. So far I find that this game is great, and has the potential to be even better.

The thing is though, theres so much for me to do, and still some places to visit, and so this update means even more things for me to discover... On top of that, I also play another online RPG (Conquer Online), so I have lots to do. I used to play Runescape, but I was getting bored, I was running out of things to do.

But aside from all that, I can't wait for it to be done. I just love the thrill of exploration in video games

Well, at least I'm finally hearing something like that. It does make the wait worthwhile.

And it shouldn't be too long, unless something major went wrong since yesterday.

Post by: bloodlust on July 04, 2006, 10:03:17 pm: well, I downloaded the loader a few days ago and have read alot of your forums. I cant wait to see the game for the first time. With all i have read it seem's like this is a great community and there are alot of mature people that play. It will be a nice change from games I've played in the past. *Sits with great anticipation* look forward to seeing all of you in game.
